Andrew McMahon (formerly of Something Corporate and Jack's Mannequin) has just released a video for "Synesthesia", the first single off the EP "The Pop Underground", his official debut as a solo artist, released last April 30.

The video was directed by Karl Hamilton and Karl Cooper: "we filmed the performance portion in Cooper's apartment with a projector, a bare white wall, my cannon 7d, a few friends and a little absinthe to make things interesting" said Andrew. "It was a moment of pride that after years of creating music in a fairly down and dirty fashion, the video process could now be similarly approached."

On related news, Jack's Mannequin will release "Live from the El Rey Theatre" on June 25 through Be Why and Alternative Distribution Alliance. Filmed over two nights on November 11th and 12th 2012 at the El Rey Theater in Los Angeles at last year's 3rd annual Dear Jack Foundation Benefit Concert, the two shows mark the final performances from Jack's Mannequin, wrapping their critically acclaimed 7-year run. All net profits from the CD and DVD sales will go to the Dear Jack Foundation.
